Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, October 20, 2004

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 5:45 p.m. until 9:45 p.m. EDT today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Changes at work might disturb you. You want to hang on to familiar ways of doing things, which ironically, is not really your style. But this time, you feel strongly about something. This could trigger heated conversations with coworkers or supervisors. (Chill out.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You feel passionate! You want your way about something. You feel this way dealing with artistic or entertainment matters. You feel this way with a lover. You feel this way about sports. And you're passionate about something regarding children as well. Hmm. (Going a bit overboard?)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Discussions with family members and partners are very intense today. You want something to change. You might want somebody to act differently or treat you differently. Be careful because this could cause a real breakdown in a relationship. Is this really what you want?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You're not casual about anything today. Everything matters. (And you're an emotionally sensitive person anyway.) This can be positive (i.e. you really really like someone today) or negative (you really really don't like someone today.) But the intensity is coming from you, babes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful with money today, especially if you're spending it. You feel impatient and determined about something. You just want to do it. You want to get it over with. You want it behind you. Because of this, you might be rash in how you handle your money. (Not wise.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Even though you crave stability in your relationships, whatever you do today might bring about the opposite result. Make sure you don't poke your finger in someone else's eye. This is easy to do today. Take a deep breath. Give every situation more room to breathe.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Sometimes we don't know what really drives us. We feel compulsive or demanding and we're not aware of it. Others can see it, however. This is one of those days. That's why you feel uncomfortable and sort of reckless. It's not a calm feeling. Fortunately, it passes quickly.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might have a passionate argument with a friend. (Is there any other kind?) You want someone to do what you want, or be what you believe, or change to the way you think would be better. But this person won't cooperate. How are you going to accept this?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Even though you can be a slick sales type (and you're the best!) in essence, you're honest to the point of being blunt. Right now you don't agree with someone in authority. You've got ideas about how to improve things. But who will listen to you? Don't force your agenda. (Not today.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is the classic day for arguments about philosophical, religious and political matters. You feel you are right; others feel they're right; each side wants to convince the other. This is a train that is going nowhere. Give up trying to convince others to agree with you. Relax.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

These are very passionate times for lovers. You've got some juicy data for your diary (if you had any time to write anything down!) This same passion however, spills over into disputes about shared property. Tread carefully. People are determined to hang on to what they think they own.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are undergoing some basic changes in your closest relationships. You cannot ignore this. (Even though you're the Queen of Denial.) Perhaps you want things to stay the same, the way they always were. But all relationships are dynamic, alive and constantly changing. Factoid.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Viggo Mortensen (1958) shares your birthday. You have a good understanding of society and its trends. Because of this, others listen to you. You have good money sense. You're realistic and practical. You appreciate fashion and style. You always look good. In the year ahead, you'll let go of things to create room for new avenues.
